Been working as a dev for over 15 years now, mostly in startups so alway learning, very fast mover.

The last few years has mostly revolved around building large internal cloud consumption platforms for enterprises through a boutique consultancy; involved from initial pitches through to implementation.

Previously successfully raised VC funds and while ultimately unsuccessful in the long run, learned a lot.

I self host a huge amount of stuff on-top of a custom cloud platform I built using a Kubernetes cluster deployed as a tenant of my cloud.

I run a few servers which all have an "ordlet" installed, akin to the kubelet, which configure network namespaces for isolated tenant networking and boots virtual machines which use a EC2 style metadata server to fetch their boot script, which for this purpose configures a HA kubernetes cluster that then uses ArgoCD to fetch all the manifests from my git repo using an AppSet.

It's so incredibly over complicated and over engineered, it's a lot of fun :)

You might like my homelab hypervisor project, https://github.com/ordiri/ordiri

It's built on-top of the Kubernetes API server runtime and deploys virtual machines and tenant networks, you can see the Kubernetes cluster I deploy using IaC YAML manifests here - https://github.com/ordiri/ordiri/tree/master/ordiri/examples...

It powers all my publicly hosted, ipv6 only services - https://blog.dmann.xyz for example, it's 1000% over kill but a fun project none the less :)

Retro Analytics (https://retroanalytics.io) | REMOTE | Full Stack

We are looking for a full stack engineer to join the team. Working on our FE app (React, Relay, MobX) and backend (various tech).

We use Tensorflow for our production models and a range of frameworks for model development.

Some keywords: Docker, React, GraphQL, AWS, Tensorflow

Contact me directly - david at retroanalytics.io

We charge a monthly fee which is based on the sessions you are getting and then we have a few different tiers. We should have our pricing up on the site in the next few days and we have a 30 day free trial to make sure you are happy with the product, feel free to reach out to me - david at retroanalytics.io.

Take a look at https://RetroAnalytics.io - It's a predictive web analytics platform. Similar features to Firebase Prediction though built for the web and mobile and you aren't locked into Firebase.

Disclaimer - I'm the founder :) Would love your feedback !

Fortunately the Opsworks service wasn't able to contact EC2 API so although it attempted to terminate the servers, the termination call failed so the instances are still alive and functioning but there is now a disconnect between Opsworks and EC2

We are getting errors across multiple AWS API's. It's nothing to do with Opsworks itself, rather it appears like there is an internal networking issue.

Both SQS and SNS were erroring and now SQS has gone down completly with all requests timing out.

All of our opsworks instances are currently being shut down, we have already had 20 servers automatically terminated...

There goes the weekend!!

CAn confirm we are also experiencing massive issues, took AWS about an hour to update status page. Attempted to file support ticket and that timed out, when the request finished it had created 10 duplicated tickets and still waiting on the phone call from AWS RE ticket.

Foild.net - Sydney, Mid North Coast, Australia - Remote possible

We are a stealth startup building the next generation of automated identification verification. We have various contracts with government and banking groups and are growing fast.

Any lang experience is fine, we currently have only 1 developer and the majority of the codebase is in PHP (Symfony2) with various java and node.js micro services.

I wrote this little simulator to help a friend in college who was stuck with his thesis. It simulates the output of a mine based on the distances required for trucks to travel and each location and trucks capacity.

Hey mate,

There is already a app level loyalty system which tracks coffees ordered and will automatically give the user a free item when they have purchased 10 items :).

I definitely want to take this national shortly.

The way it works is by recharging your account with credit so that the fees are only incurred once on a 10-20$ transaction.

Thanks for the support! Hopefully I can get it off the ground :P
